Thailand’s foreign minister, Maris Sangiampongsa, announced that Myanmar’s junta-appointed foreign minister briefed officials from five neighbouring countries on the military's repeatedly postponed election plans. The Myanmar military seized power in a 2021 coup, citing unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 elections, which were decisively won by Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD). The junta’s delayed electoral roadmap has faced criticism from the international community.
